The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

This generation of Li family members was undoubtedly lucky. They caught up with Li Qing's sudden rise and enjoyed dividends that were previously unimaginable.

Although Kunpeng Blessed Land has only been promoted for a dozen years, relying on the opportunity of traveling between the two worlds, as well as magical creatures such as the elf insects, given the Li family's small size, the clan members basically have no shortage of resources for cultivation at this stage.

Resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills are rare for newly promoted third-level forces.

Like the Sang family of Yanglong Lake, even though Sang Yuwan successfully formed the foundation-building pill, they still did not have a stable channel to obtain the foundation-building pill.

The Li family was different. Li Qing could refine the foundation-building pills himself. This allowed the seven foundation-building seeds of the family to win at the starting line compared to their peers from other families.

But the spiritual materials for the foundation-building pills are not cabbages after all, and they will not fall from the sky. This kind of strategic resource has long been controlled by the Xuan Palace and the old third-level forces.

Those scattered outside are almost negligible, and there are so many practitioners scrambling for them, staging a drama of "the battle for the great way".

With the Li family's current channels, it is not easy to gather all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill in ten years.

As for the agreement with Gu Changsheng and Tanyuan Immortal City, it only happens every few years. If you are lucky, you can get a "commission" for three pills.

After all, they have their own alchemists, and they will only use Li Qing when the source of spiritual materials or the whereabouts of elixirs cannot be made public.

Up to now, Li Qing has three foundation-building pills in his hand, and the Li family has collected some spiritual materials, which can make about two to three pills.

Calculating in this way, out of the seven Jindan seeds, there are probably one or two that cannot produce the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But that's not how the account is calculated.

The Li family is in its rising period. In the future, more and more descendants will enter the ninth level of Qi training within sixty years and have the hope of building a foundation.

If all the Foundation Establishment Pills are given away at once, what will happen in the future?
What's more, if the Li family produces foundation-building cultivators one after another, given the relationship between Sang Yuwan, Niu Xinjing and Li Qing, how could they not know what's going on?

They came to ask for pills for their juniors, could Li Qing not give them one or two?

So, taking all the factors into consideration, Li Qing can only take out four foundation-building pills to reward these seven foundation-building seeds.

Li Qing thought about it and asked Li Yun, the elder in charge of the family contribution assessment, to pull out their contributions in recent years and rank them in order.

However, unfortunately, the top four are all from Li Qing's lineage.

Giving it all to them is reasonable and legal, but it is not conducive to unity after all.

Li Qing thought about it again and again, and called a few of his younger generations over first.

"Greetings to the great uncle!" "Greetings to the master!"

Li Wei, Li Zhao, Li Wei and Li Lang bowed in greeting.

Li Qing pointed at the cushions in front of him and said, "Sit down. I have been in seclusion for many years and now I know that you four have done very well. You have all reached the threshold of building a foundation in the Jiazi period..."

Li Wei smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my uncle's cultivation. Twenty years ago, I never thought that I would have such a day."

Li Zhao and the other two also complimented him.

Li Qing waved his hands, sat upright, and spoke directly: "I won't hide it from you. I will probably get four foundation-building pills in the near future..."

Before they finished speaking, the four of them's eyes were already filled with anticipation.

But Li Qing's next words froze the smiles on their faces.

"If I were a casual cultivator, I would have given these foundation-building pills directly to you juniors. But we have a common family behind us."

He paused and said, "Like you, the other three are also my juniors. Although people may be close or distant, as the ancestor of the family, I cannot favor one over the other..."

Li Wei and the other three looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.

After all, this is the foundation-building pill, a chance to reach heaven in one step. Who can easily ask for it and give it up with such noble character?
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Li Qing didn't urge them. He picked up the spiritual tea on the jade table and took a sip.

The atmosphere in the cave gradually became gloomy.

And so, I waited for a full quarter of an hour.

Li Wei gritted her teeth and bowed to Li Qing: "Uncle, I am willing to give up this opportunity!"

"No!"

"no!"

"Only you can't!"

Before Li Wei finished speaking, the other three people immediately spoke up to stop her.

Li Lang even prostrated himself on the ground: "Sister Li Wei is the first among us to advance to the ninth level of Qi training in terms of cultivation; in terms of kinship, she is one of your only three close relatives who have entered the practice of cultivation."

If she can't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, then no one in the entire family will be qualified to get the Foundation Establishment Pill from you."

He gritted his teeth, his clenched palms full of sweat: "Master, I have no chance to become your disciple, but with your favor, I have the honor to practice "Qingmu Yanming Zhenjie" and get a glimpse of the ninth level of Qi training."

"This is already a blessing from heaven. Li Lang doesn't dare to expect too much and is willing to withdraw from the competition for the foundation-building pill."

Li Qing nodded slightly, then looked at the other two: "What do you think?"

Li Zhao and Li Wei looked at each other, and there was a faint flash of lightning in their eyes.

After a while, the two reached an agreement.

"Master, since we both inherited your alchemy skills, let's use this as a test of our heroism. We would like to have an alchemy competition, and the winner will receive the foundation-building pill. Please help judge."

Li Qing then smiled: "It's good that you can settle the share of the Foundation Establishment Pill without hurting each other's feelings."

He pondered for a moment and said, "I can't give you the foundation-building pills casually, but the foundation-building spiritual objects are still okay."

"I will allocate spiritual stones, and then each of you will go to Tanyuan Immortal City or Changyan Immortal City to bid for a spiritual object. I will buy it if the premium is less than half."

Li Wei and the other two bowed down again and said in unison: "Thank you, Uncle (Master)!"

This time, the four younger generations of Li Qing's lineage were so noble and generous that they gave up two foundation-building pills. Naturally, Li Qing had to let the others show their gratitude.

Therefore, he directly sent a talisman to invite Li Yu, his two younger generations, and another member of the side branch of the family.

There are two people from the Li Yu lineage, a man and a woman, named: Li Jie and Li Rong.

Li Jie is not good-looking, but he has a pair of bright eyes.

Li Rong has a gentle appearance, but a very hot temper.

The remaining tribesman, who was of the same generation as them, was named Li Qi. Because he practiced fire-related martial arts, his eyebrows and hair ends were a little red.

Li Qing did not exchange too much pleasantries, but went straight to the point and explained the whole story.

Li Jie, Li Rong and Li Qi were grateful and trembling when they heard this. After all, the opportunity to build a foundation was right before their eyes. Which Qi training cultivator would not be excited?

However, thinking about the origin of the quota, the three of them became a little nervous. They looked at Li Wei and the other three cautiously, but received four reassuring smiles in return.

——After all, the favor has already been done, so there is no need to put on a resentful face and still not be able to say "good" in the end.

Hearing that the two places were directly given up by Li Qing's lineage, Li Yu said decisively: "Then Li Jie and Li Rong should also give up one place. The other place will be given to Li Qi." Li Qi was ecstatic when he heard this, but he didn't know how to show it, so he had to lower his head and not look at other people.

Li Jie and Li Rong looked a little unhappy, but they also knew that this was the best solution.

After all, the four people in Qingzu's lineage only had two foundation-building pills each, and it was indeed not appropriate for the two of them to have one each.

But the question is, who will give in?
Seeing that neither of them had any intention of speaking, Li Yu turned to Li Qing and said, "Most of my lineage follows me in raising spirit shells, so why don't we have a competition with them? Whoever raises them better will get the foundation-building pill."

Li Qing laughed and pointed at Li Zhao and Li Wei: "That's exactly what they think. Let's see what's really going on. No one should be dissatisfied!"

In this way, the distribution of the four foundation-building pills was decided. Li Qing asked the others to go back and not to make any news, leaving only Li Yu here.

"Brother, I wonder if you have any good news about your water palace, which has been under construction for ten years?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Of course there is good news. I found a second-level spiritual spring. I can extract its origin and use it as the core of the water palace."

"With this spiritual spring as the foundation, if my water palace is built, it will start from the second-level middle grade, which can be regarded as a promising future."

It was precisely because of this spiritual spring that Li Yu paused the construction of the water palace in order to skip the first level and directly build a second level.

Li Qing was very happy to hear this: "This is indeed a great joyous event. It means that Qinghe Valley has been upgraded to Kunpeng's blessed land. Otherwise, it is still unknown who will be the master and who will be the assistant between it and the Water Palace."

Li Yu laughed loudly: "You are too modest. With your ability to travel between two realms, your speed of accumulating merit is much faster than mine, so you will naturally be ahead in the promotion to the blessed land."

Li Qing didn't dwell on this topic any more, and just asked with concern: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Yu shook his head: "I have sorted it out. I just need you to help me withstand the thunder."

Just like when the blessed land was built, when the water palace was completed, it would also cause violent fluctuations in spiritual energy, thus attracting the power of thunder.

This thunder is not a calamity or punishment from heaven, but just a natural change in spiritual energy. Others can also help resist it, and it is not necessary for the Master of the Water Palace to take action.

Li Qing naturally agreed.

So, a month later, Li Yu calculated an auspicious day and started the ritual of building the water palace in Hexi.

In Hexi, Li Yu walked to an altar, bowed deeply, and chanted: "I sincerely pay my respects to Yanggu Dongyuan. In Qinghua Palace..."

Li Rong and Li Jie followed closely behind, and then behind them followed other tribesmen who practiced water-based skills. They all bowed and chanted scriptures at the same time.

What is being recited is the "Precious Edict of the Water Official Emperor", which is the scripture recited when praying to the Water Official Emperor, who can relieve disasters from the five qi of the lower Yuan.

In the tens of thousands of years of history that can be verified in the world of cultivation, there is no record of the deeds of this Water Official Emperor.

All we know is that he is known together with Shangyuan Tianguan Emperor and Zhongyuan Diguan Emperor, and is the almighty one who controls the "Water Element" among the three elements of heaven, earth and water.

The method of building the water palace given by Li Zhaoqian seems to have been passed down from an admirer of the Water Emperor. Its authenticity remains to be verified, but after all, the more courtesy, the less blame.

Just as Li Yu finished reciting the precious edict, a wave as high as a meter suddenly rose in Hexi.

Faintly, a majestic voice sounded: "Yes!"

Li Qing, who was watching from the side, felt his spiritual sense shudder. A huge thought swept across Kunpeng Blessed Land and seemed to pause on himself for a moment.

But the others seemed completely oblivious.

Even Li Yu was just going through the motions and fulfilling all the etiquette, without any other feelings.

He stood up and ordered people to take down the offerings on the altar, and then placed on top various marine life gems such as corals, tortoise shells, pearls, and giant clams.

These are offerings to heaven and earth.

After all the objects were in place, Li Yu activated the prepared formation ritual.

Suddenly, a burst of water light rose out of nowhere, covering the corals, hawksbill turtles and other creatures.

A magical power draws out the essence from them, transforms it into exotic fragrance, and offers it to heaven and earth.

It is worth mentioning that the treasures used to build the water palace must be the remains of the aquatic creatures that have died of natural causes, and cannot be directly harvested.

Li Qing was a little confused at first, but after hearing the word "can", he suddenly understood.

"It is said that the God of Heaven bestows blessings, the God of Earth forgives sins, and the God of Water relieves disasters. They are all kind gods who have mercy on all living things. How can they accept such a bloody sacrifice?"

As the ritual progresses, the colors of treasures such as tortoise shells, corals, pearls, and giant clams on the altar change from bright to dull.

As a gust of wind blew, all these biological gems turned into ashes and disappeared.

At this time, the energy above Hexi became more and more ethereal.

Li Yu seized the moment and, with the help of the authority of the blessed land shared by Li Qing, he grabbed it with all his strength and said, "Come!"

Suddenly, the Hexi water vein in this section of Kunpeng's blessed land was easily controlled by him, and it turned into an incomplete little snake, struggling unsteadily.

Li Yu ignored it and took out a jade box from his storage bag with one hand and opened it.

Suddenly, a clear wave of light slowly rose from the jade box.

Then, a bead as clear as crystal splashed out and fell heavily into the middle of the Hexi River.

Suddenly, the little water snake seemed to have swallowed something very nutritious. It raised its head and let out a silent hiss.

He stopped struggling and just stayed in Li Yu's palm, the aura around him gradually turning from illusory to virtual.

"Splash..." The water in Hexi seemed to be inspired and began to separate spontaneously, revealing the formation that Li Yu had arranged long ago.

"The auspicious time has arrived!" Li Yu shouted in a low voice and stamped his feet heavily, "Hexi Water Palace, if you don't come out now, when will you come out?"

Suddenly, the entire magic circle was shining with light, and countless symbols were faintly flashing in it.

Li Yu seized the opportunity and ordered Li Jie, Li Rong and others behind him to dump all the large boxes of spiritual materials in like opening a floodgate.

Under the transformation of the formation, these spiritual materials became building materials for the water palace. They began to spontaneously combine and were gradually built up according to Li Yu's idea.

"Rumble..."

Outside Kunpeng's blessed land, the spiritual energy was affected by this and began to stir.

Then, a purple thunder came down, trying to split the water palace that had not yet taken shape, but was stopped by Li Qing, the lord of the blessed land.

Compared with every time Li Qing constructed the Earth Immortal Realm, this thunder seemed to be even more powerful, and it vaguely carried some meaning of heavenly calamity.

After all, it is something of the narcissus variety, so it is normal for it to be envied by God.

Li Qing felt awe in his heart and looked up at the sky. He saw a red lightning as thick as an arm hitting Kunpeng's blessed land heavily.

"This level may not be easy!" Li Qing sighed.
